The scariest thing I have felt about this situation is that I just noticed I was leaking a little bit of coolant from what looks like the lower intake manifold and I have no money to fix this. What could it be just a gasket or something? Does this usually happen when you run it hard? My driving habbits arent that bad but I do usually floor it when I have the road to myself.

The gaskets are like $45 from GMPD, If you can put on an intake, You can probably do the lowers. This is definatly giving me reasoning to do the write-up when I do mine eh guys? GMPD got me 3-5 day shipping, mon + tues are days 4 and 5.

Only 1 click when I turn the key forward like if its dead but its not the battery because we have tried a jumpstart and that isnt the problem. I really dont know what it is but we'll see what Pepboys has to say about it. Hopefully they arent giving us the runaround.

You didnt clean out the battery terminals enough. When this happened to me I could listen to the radio and stuff in the car, there just wasnt enough amps to start the car.

Take the entire positive red battery terminal apart! A toothbrush wont do crap, you need a wire brush and some baking soda in water. You can get by with a toothbrush but definitly use the baking soda. Take the entire red terminal apart, there is the accessory one that is close to the battery, and the one for the engine that is farther back and probably loaded with corrosion.

I had the same thing happen on my car. The problem was that i had a faulty battery that was leaking in the terminals. Replaced the battery and it all was fine after that. You can soak the terminals in soda.... it gets off that corrosion great. Be sure to do what the post above said first...... get a new terminal bolt... They are real cheap. Your car should start for at least a little while when you replace it.
